I taught myself to read at 4 years of age because I was impatient. I decided the available books were not the story I wanted to read, and wrote a story, at 5.
It was pretty awful.
I mean, I was five, that's not going to be a coherent plot anyhow! But still. It was awful. I was astounded to realize that good stories don't just burst off the page because I apply a crayon. I went back to reading for a while, but sometimes I was looking at what made one book a good read while another was merely a way to pass the time.
Here we are, twoscore and change years later, and I think I am starting to really grasp how a plot is different from a narrative which is not the same thing as a roughly chronological sequence of scenes?
Building worlds certainly makes for a better story!
 
My native language is American English, with several regional contributions as I moved around a lot in my early years. I can communicate tolerably well in a couple of other languages, if the other converser is patient and of good cheer. I'm familiar with several specialized vocabularies in the greater category "Nerd" and I know the responsibility for being understood is mine.
(I also sometimes have trouble understanding spoken words because I'm missing a bit of the hearing register in the middle. Maybe that's why I use the "Maximum Verbosity" setting in written communication! Sorry.)

Mentality

Personal history

From Ysadora’s own (somewhat obsolete!) notes, accessible via intrusion into her DataPADD:


 

Around thirty to thirty-five standard years old, brown eyes, brown hair worn long and usually loose, approximately 5’6" and 150 lbs.


 

Born* at Mirrul Hospital, Skirzden, Esseles, Essessia System, Darpa Sector; raised by standard contract at Skirzden Star Creche, Esseles, Darpa Sector; graduated Calamar Technical University with certification in database administration; left Esseles without filing travel plan. Job history: various.


 

Licensed four years later by Imperial Review Board as a private investigator.


 

Operated an office on Siskel Station.


 

Student of Jedi Master Skywalker from latter 18 AFE RR until the Nostromo incident, after which time she was seen travelling with Jedi Master Kenobi. Good at finding Storm Troopers. Graduated to Jedi Knight after the second death of Palpatine, at the end of the Shadows of an Empire adventure.


 

A former private detective, frequently seeming to be at odds with the sometimes not-so-practical Jedi Masters, Vanya VNY quickly gained a reputation as one of the more inquisitive Jedi Padawans currently being trained. Her original master was Anakin Skywalker, who at a certain point in her training passed her over to Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of those who trained Anakin Skywalker. Masters Kenobi, Skywalker, Yoda, and Hinalli once swore up and down to have seen visions of Vanya through the Force, showing that she could become a great something-something-something if she would just QUIT ARGUING FOR FIVE MINUTES and listen more closely to the lecture in progress. That conversation went VERY well, Vanya thought, even while on k.p.


heh

Education

  • graduated Calamar Technical University with certification in database administration

  • apprenticed with Sherry Flippe at the Wide Awake Detective Agency for one year, to qualify for a private investigator license

  • apprenticed to Jedi Masters Anakin Skywalker, then Obi-Wan Kenobi as a Padawan for ten years; graduated to Jedi Knight on 12730/1/1

Morality & Philosophy

Jedi: Vanya believes that all life has value. That individuals have the right to choose who they're going to be, and get all the consequences which develop from those choices.

She will cheerfully tell anybody who brings it up that her religion is correct, of course -- but that some people find a different religion works best for them at that point in their lives. So she'll support that as long as it helps the person function well within the universe.

The problem with the Dark Side, she has gotten Sith Lords to agree, is that it's a powerful short term solution. It is not a good long-term solution for anything, because it burns itself out. It has to be maintained. She has turned to Dark Side practitioners and requested that they do something specific that calls for great power applied in an instant; but then she is right there afterward, easing the situation into a better direction with the Light Side of the Force as a steady stream.

She is making the Light Side look useful to quite the odd collection of formerly-nothing-but-hatred Mystic Mob types in the Tapani Sector ... and Vanya is certain to her core that this is why the Universe put her there in the first place.

person.gender_identity

Female human (she/her)

Taboos

  • No bacta tanks ever again, thanks anyhow.

Known Languages

  • Basic (Galactic common language)

  • Written language: Jedi Script

  • scattered phrases in modern Mandalorian, Tapani Beskar dialect

Personality

Savvies & Ineptitudes

  • cannot do that mind influencing thing, which she calls "Jedi Beer Trick", and will never be able to do it

  • Vanya could intuitively Remain Conscious before she knew she was Force sensitive. She cannot explain how that works. She took longer than expected to learn Resist Stun, which is normally a prerequisite skill.

  • Due to Imperially-mandated educational restrictions in her childhood, Vanya grew up believing some supposed laws of reality that are turning out to be untrue. For example, many sentient species can have viable mixed-species children, contrary to what her Core Worlds curriculum taught. Vanya is able to unlearn some of these false teachings easily, while others keep tripping her up.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes:

  • trying out new local "quick and cheap" cuisine during her travels

  • reading law journals, looking for complications and loopholes that might affect a private investigator's business in the near future

  • picking up minor "cussing" equivalent words of disgruntlement in various languages, particularly any ones that might be applied to herself in earnest someday

  • when a companion joins her in scribbling down flimsicards of gathered intel

  • discovering highly biased, opinionated annotations in the Holopedia Galactica

  • writing her own admittedly biased articles and annotations to contribute to the Holopedia Galactica, especially when she discovers something that has no significant content already entered.

 
Dislikes:

  • the taste of beer

  • heavy spices

  • farces whether live, studio recording, brief, or epic

  • being addressed or referenced as "General Ysadora"

  • every dikut'la time a certain someone uses Vanya's image or her reputation without first getting her approval

  • planets with high volcanic activity AND poor atmospheric motion, either one is tolerable but together it's misery

Virtues & Personality perks

  • ambidextrous

Vices & Personality flaws

  • Fundamentally does not get natural families, which would be any family structure that does NOT involve "raised at a professional child-raising facility, by people licensed and certified and specialized to that particular age group". Accepts that this is the standard across the Galaxy, but she will soapbox a little too often about how "messed up" this "haphazard" system is.


 

  • Vanya seems to be friendly, open, transparent, and casual. Those who have been around her in many different situations usually notice that this is a kindly-meant mask to cover an innately reserved, remote core personality who is constantly watching for inconsistencies in other people's public personas. Vanya doesn't think there's usually malice in having a "public persona" to cover one's private nature; she thinks everyone does that as part of the social contract.


 

  • Vanya tried out recreational inebriation exactly one time.

    She liked it.

    She liked it a little bit too much.

    While she has never requested a medical analysis on the topic, Vanya is confident that she has a genetic predisposition to alcoholism. She will not give herself the chance to find out how good her self-control is when it comes to intoxicants ever again -- not one drink, not one sip.

Personality Quirks

When someone calls her name, she answers, "Yo!" because she thinks it's reassuring on a gut level.

Where did she get this silly notion? It had something to do with the few years when she was a teenager that she worked as the on-site dba for Roeksen Construction, a space-based construction company specializing in null-grav work.

If one of the clone troopers ever calls her by her name, though, watch a very very different response happen. (It'll never happen.) H

Hygiene

When facilities are available, VN gets a sonic shower and washes her clothing once per day whether she thinks she needs it or not. Usually after her morning workout.

Her robe is a beat-up travesty, though. She got it from a second-hand shop. She tosses it into a wash occasionally, and she'll patch minor holes with whatever thread or glue is handy, but she never hems it and she seems not to notice discolorations or thin spots in the fabric.

Social

Birthplace

Mirrul Hospital, Skirzden, Esseles, Essessia System, Darpa sector

Current Residence

Tavya Nine, Tavya System

Contacts & Relations

Honorary & Occupational Titles

  • Dame Ysadora (Tapani Sector formal situations only, also, she hates this)

  • Jedi Knight

  • Chaplain (used most often by clone troopers, members of the Beskar Aran, by individuals who have their own interactions with the Beskar Aran, and in association with formal interactions with the Tapani Imperium government)

  • General (used by clones only, and usually only once per offender, because she has promised to assign an exponentially increasing number of stomach crunches per offense)

  • Commander (used by clones who have known her a long time and are having anxiety or possibly a snit)

Wealth & Financial state

Funds: 3d (1d)

  • note: recently spent most of the accumulated income from her Tapani "petty knighthood" on a single employment contract; it will take a while for this to accumulate, and even longer for her to pay it attention again.

  • Most of Vanya's income is derived from her private investigator work at Mystic Mob Investigations. Most of that goes back into the Jedi Temple. She and Davish live comfortably in a studio apartment about twenty minutes' walk away from their office. Both places are rentals.

Family Ties

  • Vanya has registered a legal abdication of claim, for herself in perpetuity, to any familial rights in connection with the Vorharkonnen noble family.

  • If Vanya could figure out the appropriate path to register a legal abdication of connection to whoever Lev Ysadora is, she'd do that, too. But she is not willing to throw lots of time or money at the problem.

Religious Views

Emotion, yet peace.

Ignorance, yet knowledge.

Passion, yet serenity.

Chaos, yet harmony.

Death, yet the Force.

Hobbies & Pets

  • subscribes to the Tapani Alliance Law Journal, reads the latest issue at quiet times, scribbles caustic notes in the margins about loopholes or any clause potentially relevant to a private investigator's workload. She's not a lawyer or a Solicitor, her notes may be spectacularly wrong.

  • writes letters "home" about her quirkier experiences that may be a bit out of order or full of gaps. Sometimes she's dashing off a quick thought. Sometimes she's leaving out all the bits which do not make for a good story. Sometimes she just wants to see if the recipient will be interested enough to ask.

  • When in the right system for it, still tries to meet up with local Force users for coffee or a light meal in the "Tuesday Tea" format

  • Until she was about twenty-five, Vanya blew off steam by going rock climbing. She had to give up the hobby shortly before Twilight due to constraints from the rest of her life. She is no longer subject to a mentor's orders to bring a chaperone for this kind of thing, but on the other hand, any time Vanya tries to go do something "purely for fun", the universe takes advantage of her idle status to put her to work.

Satunda, 28 Melona, 12731

 
The Problematic Opposition duo of allegedly-Sargon possibly-Alexander, and Admiral Thrawn, issued us a challenge that I am sure is meant to be both a test of our capacities and a distraction to buy them time.

 


  • two freighters

  • each headed to one of 3 different populated planets, each in a different sector of space
    1. Coruscant, capital city-planet of the Galactic Star Empire

    2. Procopia, capital planet of our home Tapani Imperium

    3. Chalcedon, capital of the Freedworlds Republic we've been assisting for months, and currently where several of our top tier projects are located.

  • each freighter loaded with approximately 12 hypergravitic missiles

  • each freighter, while crewed, hinted to be on a programmed collision course. (Does that seem very Thrawn to us?)



 
The strength of a Jedi is in how she connects with the other beings of the Galaxy. She seldom actually needs to step in as a fulcrum. Also, I really like the idea of enabling people to protect themselves, not scramble everywhere to do it on their helpless behalf.

We can get the word out, reliably, to all three locations that they need to look for such-and-such, and generally enable defenses against reality-cracking missile payloads.

 
(Maybe we won't put it that way. No need to stress our allies' own distractible inclinations.)

 
Beyond that, it would be wise to arrange to capture and make safe these two ships. Have a diplomatic interchange with the crews. Pick up whatever the next anxious puzzle is supposed to be.

 
Beyond that, this is as good a moment as I'm likely to find to start mentally drafting that holomail. The one that starts out "Dear Bossmen, Please compare near future schedules so we can have a lineage-only live chat. And it's up to you to ensure security is in place so our convo cannot be recorded, eavesdropped, or redistributed."

 


Vanya, abruptly: "SHIT" goes scrambling for her datapad

... which she does not have.

"Davish, babe, lemme borrow your good holovid call thinger!"

 
Davish jumps, nearly falling out of his chair , spilling his ramen.

"Oh sure!" Hands over his datapad and sighs at the near miss of a ramen-apocolypse

 
Vanya continues talking while rushing her way through the holovid call control menu. "Okay, what if I just figured out why the distraction? The target isn't the capital planets. The target is the BeeGees, right?" She backspaces a few characters in the call string she is inputting from memory, replaces with correct characters. "Only the target is NOT the BeeGees. It's their archives."

She pauses to glance around for the nearest semi-reflective surface. "SHIT SHIT SHIT now I gotta call my cousin. How's my hair?"

But she does not really listen for an answer.

"HICKS! C'mere a minute. Who's on duty assignment on Geidi?"



Aww! Tech calls me by name! :)

Tepcat

Played by
Jarissa

I taught myself to read at 4 years of age because I was impatient. I decided the available books were not the story I wanted to read, and wrote a story, at 5.
It was pretty awful.
I mean, I was five, that's not going to be a coherent plot anyhow! But still. It was awful. I was astounded to realize that good stories don't just burst off the page because I apply a crayon. I went back to reading for a while, but sometimes I was looking at what made one book a good read while another was merely a way to pass the time.
Here we are, twoscore and change years later, and I think I am starting to really grasp how a plot is different from a narrative which is not the same thing as a roughly chronological sequence of scenes?
Building worlds certainly makes for a better story!
 
My native language is American English, with several regional contributions as I moved around a lot in my early years. I can communicate tolerably well in a couple of other languages, if the other converser is patient and of good cheer. I'm familiar with several specialized vocabularies in the greater category "Nerd" and I know the responsibility for being understood is mine.
(I also sometimes have trouble understanding spoken words because I'm missing a bit of the hearing register in the middle. Maybe that's why I use the "Maximum Verbosity" setting in written communication! Sorry.)
